As an Asian female, you can get away with calling this lounge
Yellowtail. I couldn't call a club that and get away with it.

Of course not, you're a Caucasian and a male.

But yellow is offensive to Asian people, and tail is offensive to
women. As an outstanding piece of yellowtail yourself, you can say the
name!

Yellow is offensive to Asian people? Depends on the context. The
color yellow in and of itself is not offensive to anyone. And "tail"
is offensive to women? What's that all about?

Yellowtail is the name of a species of tuna. How is that offensive?

Actually yellowtail not tuna. It is more like mackeral. You may be
thinking of yellowfin tuna. But the hamachi (yellowtail) one gets at a
sushi bar is not tuna. This mistake is a very common one.


OK then. Still the image I get is fish, not Asians or women.
